Friday Men’s - April 21, 2023

Post by JP40 »

Game One: The Generals @ Balls Deep
Generally speaking, 8 runs isn’t enough scoring to win slowpitch softball games…. But that’s why they play the games. Balls Deep would see Nick Pigott single and score twice. Bob Stanley would drive in 2 runs with his single and double. The Generals would have leadoff hitter, John Muniz, score 3 times. Chris Forester would hit a pair of doubles and score twice. Chris Knechel’s 4 for 4 night was highlighted by a 5th-inning bomb. The Generals win 8-7.

Game Two: The Yard @ Dirty Dozen
Tom Koelzer’s 3-run homer in the first helped get The Yard rolling. A series of singles in the 3rd got them 5 more runs. Tim Caldwell would score twice - as would JB Jordan. D12 was shorthanded and struggled offensively. Pete Abary and Andrew Alexander each scored twice. But it wasn’t enough to mow down The Yard. Yard wins 15-11.

Game Three: Cannoneers @ Cobra Kai
This was a tight ball game, right down to the wire. The Cannoneers were limited to just 1 homer (hit by Shawn Hines). Dave Fehr would score twice, as would Tom Gallo, Hines, and Jake Engleman. The Kai got homers from Tyler Gower and Rob Tomkinson and trailed just 13-12 going into the bottom of the 7th. With Jake Haber on first, down 1 run, and 2 outs - Ben Schweitzer came to the plate. A homer would walk it off… let’s just say, Cannoneers left the field with a 13-12 victory.

***Shout out to scorekeeper, Fern. In the words of S. Carter, “A wise man told me don't argue with fools. Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who.”
